Bath's Centre for Photonics designs microstructured and hollow-core optical fibres for quantum technologies, using patterns of air channels to make entangled photon pairs, shift photon colour or trap single atoms, as its researchers described in a July 2024 perspective in APL Quantum. The university was a partner in the 2019 to 2024 Quantum Computing and Simulation Hub and in ORCA Computing's Quantum Data Centre of the Future project.
University of Bath is a university in Bath with three quantum projects in this directory. It is a partner in 3 UK projects: QCi3, The Quantum Data Centre of the Future and QCS.

QCi3
The national research hub for quantum computing, led by the University of Oxford. It works on scalable and networked quantum computers.
Role: Partner
Funding: £21.9m
Themes: Computing, Networks, Software and algorithms
An ORCA-led consortium that designed and demonstrated how a quantum computer could sit inside a data centre alongside classical systems.
Role: Partner
Themes: Computing, Communications, Networks
QCS
The phase 2 national hub for quantum computing and simulation, led by the University of Oxford. It ran from 2019 to 2024.
Role: Partner
Funding: £27.3m
Themes: Computing, Software and algorithms

Could quantum optimisation algorithms benefit from tunnelling even when faced with complex, non-linear challenges. This work extends the analysis of the “Hamming weight with a spike” problem beyond linear potentials to quadratic ones, revealing a pathway for potential speedups. Furthermore, new spec

The absence of Liouvillian solutions for the Klein-Gordon and Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equations, confirmed through analysis of their differential Galois group as SL(2, ), establishes a firm boundary for analytical methods in relativistic quantum mechanics. Previously, many potentials allowed solutions

Can present be the average of the future? Previously, hidden variable models struggled to explain quantum probability without invoking chance. Now, by extending Bell’s model and assigning a physical role to states evolving backwards in time, a deterministic derivation of the Born rule has been achie
